Gilbert Stephens team gearing up for charity pub quiz

Thinking caps are being knitted and encyclopaedias digested . . . the Gilbert Stephens quiz team is gearing up for the ‘best charity pub quiz in Exeter’.

The team has until 1 March to brush up on their general and musical knowledge before taking on all the other teams in this year’s WESC Pub Quiz challenge. The last quiz was a closely-fought evening which raised £2000 towards WESC Foundation projects and Gilbert Stephens, the law firm with offices in Exeter and throughout Devon, is hoping they can help the charity to beat that total.

Quiz team captain Nigel McKay said “We’re very much looking forward to battling the other teams on quiz night as we have done for a number of years. Whatever the result though, we’re delighted that we are helping to raise funds for such a worthy cause at what I’m sure will be an enjoyable – and very competitive –  event.”

Teams of six are being invited to join in the quiz which will include a selection of general knowledge questions, solving picture rounds and interpreting popular music intros. Money raised at the quiz will go towards providing important mobility equipment to help students at WESC.

“NB:  Unfortunately due to the severe weather forecast for this Thursday, we are going to postpone the pub quiz for a week! The quiz will now be held on Thursday 8th March here in the School Hall at @wescfoundation. Apart from the date all other arrangements remain exactly the same!”
